eames stamps

i just picked up these beautiful stamps from the post office and thought of my co-blogger designer friends.



in terms of an accomplishment, how does making it on a stamp rank? and i wonder how vigorous a selection process they have (the name eames did not ring a bell for me, but i like that it didn't). maybe i should start sending more snail mail instead of wasting such art on the electric company. or maybe bringing art to the mundane is the point. i have to say, i love the post office's commitment to interesting and unique stamps...

you may recognize the chair in the bottom right as being in our living room:-) charles & ray eames are a husband/wife design team who had their "hay-day"in the 50's (+/-). i've been dying to see a movie of theirs called 'The Power of Ten', which I believe is avail. on netflix...i agree, stamps are overlooked. someone's having fun making them!
